“What you can’t see won’t hurt you…it’ll kill you.” The
Fog was a John Carpenter film released in 1980. The
movie starred Jamie Lee Curtis as Elizabeth Solley,
Adrienne Barbeau as Stevie Wayne, Janet Leigh as Kathy
Williams, and Tom Atkins as Nick Castle. Although the
movie received mixed reviews, it was a money maker. In
2005, Carpenter released a remake of the film.

The
movie starts with the centennial celebration of a
seaside town called Antonio Bay, when weird things begin
happening. It turned out that 100 years earlier (1880),
a group of six guys with leprosy had intention of
settling a new colony near Antonio Bay. Because current
residents of the area did not like this idea, they had
the Leper’s ship, called the Elizabeth Dane, sunk by
means of trickery. After plundering the ship’s gold, it
was used to further the development of the city of
Antonio Bay. Once a fog began rolling in, people began
losing their lives.

It
turned out that hidden in the fog was the Elizabeth Dane
and her deceased crew, out to take revenge for their
murders in 1880. According to the haunted crew, revenge
could only be obtained if six people died, so they went
about their murderous rampage until they reached that
number. After getting back their fold and killing their
6th person, the ghosts retreat back into the
hell from whence they came.
